Online knowledge-sharing platform ClimateScan
The online knowledge-sharing platform ClimateScan.org contributes to an accelerated climate adaptation by promoting more green and blue spaces in urban areas.
Quick guide
Implementation of small-scale nature-based solutions (NBS) such as bio(swales), green roofs and green walls requires the involvement and enthusiasm of a multitude of stakeholders which can be stimulated by citizen science platforms such as ClimateScan. ClimateScan mapped over 5000 NBS projects around the globe in 6 years with an average of more than 100 diverse triple helix users a day thanks to the openness of the website and active online and offline promotion.
ClimateScan is a tool used in f.ex. ClimateCafé.
